Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]

[Clueless Morgan]

You have a vivid imagination... I name you designer of fan fiction! Go forth and produce some nice comic book sketches of that alternate ending for Brienne.

Um... no. My fanfic brain is reserved for a Marauder-era series.

It's ok for those moments to be left to the viewer to fill in.
Allegedly, they also rebuilt the red keep, so I'm assuming it took quite some time until that reunion... but it makes no sense for the kingdom to be without the small council for all that time.

Yeah, I was wondering about that, too.  Structures like the Red Keep literally take generations to build, and the state of the Red Keep after Dany's assault is very questionable, and yet shortly after it's nearly destroyed people are climbing all over it like it's perfectly stable... 100% questionable.

Also, the Red Keep does not seem an ideal castle for a crippled king to rule from; it is definitely not an ADA accessible structure  

It did seem rushed.  Honestly, the story is so vast, maybe no one knows how to end it.  I don't think that Martin did.  I still enjoyed it.  They did a better job of keeping my attentoion than the books did, aside from the whole bran bullshit.  I leafed through those pages in the book and skipped those episodes on the series,lol.  That might be why I didn't care for that part of the ending.  Don't much care for Bran.

Same.  I have been trying to get through the books since I was in high school, got to the first handful of chapters in book 4 a few years ago and still haven't gone back.

For all the complaining I'm doing about S8, I really do love the show and still feel like things only really started to fall apart for me at S8E3.

I go in and out of favoriting storylines (i.e. love Dany S1, thought she was boring S2...) but Bran was rarely on my favorite storyline list.
